Coser argued that conflict is not necessarily a destructive phenomenon, but can be a constructive and functional force within groups and society. Thus, Coser considered conflict not just as a defect or deviation from the norm, but as a natural element of social life, performing balancing and restoring functions. Thus, Coser is one of the most prominent figures who introduced the dynamic dimension of conflict into functionalist theory, following the traditional view of society’s desire for stability and harmony. Thus, Coser’s functionalist theory of conflict lays the groundwork for understanding how conflicts within societies or between groups can be a necessary mechanism for maintaining cohesion, effecting change, and achieving balance, rather than simply a threat to the social order.
